GEORGE COLEMAN BAKER, THIS VOLUME KKSI ' KITI ' 11, IV IH ' .DK ' ATKI). ,u ym my v ' H4 r « HON. GEORGE C. BAKEK. W. VA. UNlVgKSIT lion. (Seorge Coleman ! aker Hon. Ge orge Coleman Baker, to whom this volume is dedicated, is a son of Andrew Coleman Baker, deceased, and Hannah (Vance) Baker. He was horn on the old Baker farm, March 4. 1862, in Union District, Monongalia County, West Virginia. The Baker homestead was patented to his great great grand- father during the reign of George III. of England, in 1772, and has continued to he and still is in the Baker family. His great grandfather, George Baker, was a gunsmith, who made the old flintlock guns with which to fight the Indians and the redcoats of old England. In this pioneer home John Norris Baker, his grand- father, was horn July T7, 1801, and was buried July 17, i8 )4, ninety-three years of age, respected by his neighbors and beloved by his church. Andrew Coleman Baker, father of this sketch, was born January 20, 1832, and died June 14, 1863. He was a Christian gentleman of the highest and best type — a pillar in the Methodist Church, a volunteer in the militia, and died early in the great Civil War. The subject of this .sketch attended the free schools at Morgantown, West Virginia. Graduated at the W ' est Virginia University with the degree of Bachelor of Arts in June, 1883, at which institution William L. Wilson was then President, afterwards the distinguished Congressman from this District, and Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee under Grover Cleveland ' s admin- istration. In June, 1886, he graduated in the Law Department of the University, and that year the degrees of Bachelor of Law and Master of Arts were conferred upon him. On January 1, 1887, he entered into partnership with Judge R. L. Berkshire and Hon. George C. Sturgiss. which co-partnership lasted for aboul two years. On January 1, 1889, having withdrawn from said partnership, he s .ih. . ; became a partner of Hon. Frank Cox. This firm continued for sixteen years, to January i, 1005, during- which time each member of the firm acted as Prosecuting Attorney of Monongalia County for four years. Mr. Cox from January I, 1889, and Mr. Baker from January 1, 1893. ( )n lanuarv 1, 1905, he was unanimously elected President of the Bar Associa- tion of his county. The firm of Cox Baker for sixteen years had a splendid practice. On the death of Dr. George B. Morris in 1897, he appointed George Coleman Baker sole executor of his large estate, and by the provisions of his will gave him absolute control thereof for twenty years, to invest the estate as he should deem proper. He has managed the estate with exceptional business sagacity. For many years he has been a member of the ( )fficial Board and one of the Trustees of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and in the building of its splendid new stone edifice he is one of it ' s liberal contributors. In the great struggle for equal and fair taxation in the state, he has been in the public eye, in his single-handed contest for equal and uniform taxation upon the lease and leasehold estates, held and owned by the trusts and corporations, which have escaped taxation for a third of a century in this Commonwealth, during which time the land owners and plain people of the state have practically paid all the taxes. By his sound, logical arguments, striking illustrations and plain discussions on the subject of equal and uniform taxation, he started a reformation, which spread like a conflagration over the state, from hilltop to valley, into every city, town and hamlet. Public sentiment grew intense on the subject, endorsing his view of taxing leases and leaseholds as personalty on the personal property books, as chattels real. In this view he has been sustained by the best legal talent in the state. The county court of his county has employed him to make the contest for its people, and 011 his petition it has directed that the corporations, including the great Standard ( )il Trust, shall be taxed back for a period of five years upon their leases and leaseholds for oil and gas, from which millions of wealth have been realized and taken from the state. I lis position on this most important subject W. VA. UJttVL U0IARY is sustained by the State Tax Commissioner, in his recent instructions issued to the assessors of the state, directing that leaseholds shall be assessed this year as personal property. No more important measure has been brought to the attention of the people of the state since the gre at Civil War. than the subject of fair and equal taxation, as against the corporations and great trusts, controlling the wealth of West Virginia, and compelling them to pay taxes on their property like the people of the state. For thirty years, oil and gas have been produced in West Virginia. During that time over a hundred millions of wealth have escaped taxation. Over twenty million dollars, in value, each year, for oil and gas, are being realized, mainly by non-residents, and especially by the Standard Oil Trust, upon propertv held by leases, none of which have paid any taxes whatever. Being con- trary to the express provisions of the Constitution, and standing upon fundamental law, with the strong public sentiment behind him. and with eternal justice to sustain him, there is no doubt whatever hut that the trusts and combines will have to surrender to the Constitution and the law. after thirty years of flagrant breach, and pay their share of the taxes in the state. This is truly a reforma- tion for the common, plain people of the Commonwealth. 1 lis fight for equal- handed justice has built for him a monument in the hearts of the people more enduring than marble or bronze. Being twice a graduate of the University, his Alma Mater is proud oi his record. ! oard of Regents c. E. E. M D. C. L. J. T. P. J. R. C. J. F. M B. P For the Term Beginning May 19, 1901.

Senior TKUtor? ]t is with awestruck consternation and with wavering hesitation that I take my pen in hand to trace and retrace the valorous deeds and noble achievements of this august assembly — this learned, enlightened and wisdom-possessing body of which I. myself, in the imperative mood, first person, singular number, humbly claim to be a worthy member. I say that this is a task which few have been chosen to perform, and which none have felt worth) even to attempt. Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence. Webster wrote the Dictionary, Shakespeare or someone by the same name wrote Shakespeare, and Solomon was the author of the wisest words ever uttered by man ; but, when the time came for each to be the historian of his senior class, he felt that his incompetency was excelled only by his unworthiness. Therefore, dear reader, you can realize something of the embarrassing position in which I am placed when I am asked to write the history of the wisest and most important class in the University since its foundation (unless it he the class of ' 73, when our President graduated). The feats of this class have been many. Its defeats have been few. It began its career early in life. In its childhood days, way hack in the time when it was a green Freshman gawking around on the campus, it had the distinction of starting the first class rush ever engaged in by the students of this University. It was victorious in this tight, and gallant youths climbed to the topmost tower, unfurled their banner, and planted it where it waved in triumph — defiant o ' er the defeated foe. 46 In later years this same wonderful class, this naughty rive class, took a hand (yea, even a foot) in social circles. It assembled its members together, chose its fair ones, and gave a Junior Prom. This, too, was the first thing of the kind ever given in the University. It was a grand success. The Armory was gorgeously decorated with dowers and class colors. And it was brilliantly lighted until some hostile worm of the dust — and underclassman — cut the wires, that gave the power, that gave the light, that brightened the room. But even darkness did not stop the evening ' s amusement — still the dance went on. Soon skilled hands had connected the wires, and the hall was dazzling with brightness again. After the class grew to manhood it left a permanent mark on the life of the University. Just before the time came for it to take its departure from under wisdom ' s dome and from the halls of lore, it decided to engrave its name and fame dee]) in the historical archives of the West Virginia University. This was done by the establishment of a uniform class pin. This pin is to be similar to the University seal, and is to bear the initial of the department to which the student belongs and the date of his graduation. When the grandchildren of the Senior Class enter this school, and on their throbbing breasts is placed this badge of wisdom, they will be reminded that they owe their gratitude for such a handsome pin to the Class of 1905. And what more can be said of this class? Not only as a class has it dis- tinguished itself, but its individuals have taken the lead when the call for duty, glory and honor came. The dazzling star of hope has not ceased to mine with all its luster and beauty upon everyone as he took his stand in the arena of strife. This class seems to have been the Joshua of its time, for it has commanded this same star to shine on until everyone had put his enemy to flight. And it obeyed. And now as these wars are all over and the enemy, both mental and material, is strewn on the desert waste — as nothing else is in sight here to conquer — let us place on this brow of knowledge the mortar board, fold our black, but not mourn- ful robes about us. and silently steal away to the president ' s chair, the congressr man ' s seat, the orator ' s platform, the banker ' s counter, and the lawyer ' s library. 47 And when we have reached the highest eminence  n the pyramid of success we will hold high the torch of fame that yon too, my underclassmen, may see its Bickering light and tread in our footsteps until you have reached the pinnacle of perfection. So endeth the reading of the works of Those who Know and Know that They Know. HISTORIAN. I O. I i i TheB jf— ' No Sir. nor yet 4S d UN !

Dallas Commonly known as Jubernol Boomerang. Allison hails from the wilds of Pennsylvania. In his baby- hood days he was conceded to be the prettiest baby in all his neighborhood, but it is hard to find any traces of it now. Last fall he entered the Law School of the University, where his love for Blackstone has made him quite a favorite (?) with his profes- sors. As yet he has not taken an ac- tive interest in athletics, but is urged by Dr. Brooke to join the Varsity that he may lie in form for the Spring- exams. The most entrancing feature about Allison is his smile, for which he has become famous. It is up to some co-ed to make him happy, and this they would be ready to do if they would only notice his feet. HUGH SAMUEL BYRER, Philipp The owner of this kind and angelic countenance came to us from the county of Barbour. Bryer is one of those quiet and unassuming fellows who mix into our college life without creating the slightest commotion. He has one of the few blessings seldom bestowed upon men — that of keeping- quiet at the right time. In appear- ance he has more of a shrinking fem- inine timidity than of masculine bold- ness, but if you just knew As a student he is no star, but when it comes to practicability he is right there with the goods. From which we naturally infer his future to be ' Albright. 50 El GENE HILDT BARNHART, Shepardstcw n The real origin of this little boy is not known, but various conclusions have been drawn as to his descend- ency. There is not very much about Barnie which shows him a member of the illustrious Junior Class, but if he continues to work as hard as he eats he will soon be ranked with the best. Barnie is not much for looks, but is right there with the goods when a co-ed is concerned. How he docs ji certainly is a wonder. Barnie in- sists that he is four feet tall, and six inches broad, but serious doubts as to this statement are taken by many of his friends. We may be sure, though, that when he is called upon to follow his profession of Civil En- gineering we will not be disappointed in him. CLINTON TII ' PY I ' .OCCESS, Shinnsto After spending the earlier pari of his life teaching in his village, the above-named subject decided to come to W. V. U. During his days as teacher he has acquired that grim, set expres- sion common to school teachers. Bog- gess insists thta he has great literarj talent, and judging by his past com positions he will some day become famous. At first he was very attentive to his studies, but of late he has turned into a sport of the first water. Hi- friends are becoming very much alarmed at his actions. Some time ago he took unto himself a wife, and it may be that this is partly the cause of his unaccountable actions. We hope he will shun the ways of the wicked and lie truly wise. 51 WILLIAM THOMAS BROWN, Doc, as the High School boys call him, graduated from the Grafton High School in the Spring of 1900, and the same fall entered the West Virginia University to take a degree in B. S. C. E. Here he soon attained notice as a lady ' s man, a fair student, and a general good fellow. He is a firm be- liever that a fellow ' s education should not interfere with his other duties. In the University he is known by the names of Buster Brown, Brownie. and Bill. His history since 1900 is very brief, showing that he has lived an honest and upright life. His fu- ture is filled with bright prospects, and no doubt in a few years he will be the manager of some large engineer- ing concern. FRANKLIN MARIAN BRAND, Cassville This drop in the bucket of humanity descended into our midst some two or three years ago, but owing to th? fact that he has been a hard student, and has kept himself closely confined during most of this time, we have been unable to learn much about him. He first became prominent this year, when the Junior Class elected him Business Manager of the Monticola. Since that time he has been frequently before the public — especially in class meet- ing, where he speaks in Latin and Anglo-Saxon, much to the amusement and edification of his classmates. We hope that Frankie will continue to be as good a boy in the past as he has been in the future. 52 PRANK MORRIS BOYLFS, Piedmont Frank is as modest and gentle as a row that blows her own horn. He en- joys having a little game with the Dui ing-study-houis Club, and look-; as if he had just choked on an apple core, or robbed a dentist of all his gold. Oh, how nice it must be to have a co-ed give a farewell party to you. If he ever studies any no one has ever been able to catch him at it. Prof. Whitehall thinks that in time he will become a celebrated chemist. MARGARET BUCHANAN, Morgantown Behold in this co-ed one of the brightest of her class. She is not only a student of the University, but is at times a member of Faculty. As an Assistant Professor in Mathematics she has shown herself to be an efficient instructor, and yet. with all this dig- nity she has never lost her popularity. What it is about her that captures all the offices of Secretary we do not know, but suffice it to say that she has now to her credit not less than six such offices. Miss Buchanan is one of the small number of perosns who seem to know how to mix properly work and pleasure. In this she cer- tainly has found the happy medium. 53 I01IX EDGAR CAMPBELL. Moundsville John Edgar Campbell, a boy. mascu- line gender, unknown quantity, son of his parents, was born some time ago at West Virginia ' s Capitol. Here, through association with the boys who played marbles, and the fellows who played the legislator ' s game, the lad soon developed wonderful skill in the science of research of society. If you want to know the news, ask Ed. Campbell is a man of wonderful pro- portions, exceedingly corpulent — weighing 97 pounds; talks very loud; steps as lightly as a dove; and sings like a lark. His aim in life is to reach the top of the legal profession; and end his mortal life on a justice ' s bench in Moundsville, where, through the fullness of her heart, the state has prepared an abode for so many of West Virginia ' s law-abiding citizens. GEORGE WEBSTER COPFIELD, Ip September, 19m ' . the University became all attention, when the above- named student made it known thai he had fully decided to enroll as a stu- dent. George is one of those fellows who look around after each word he speaks as if he expected a sudden calamity to befall him. Looking at him one would immediately think he was a preacher, so much does he re- semble one in looks and actions, hut he is far from it. He is never seen ex- cept when there is an election and his support is needed, and when lie has (special business at the library. 54 ROBERT LEE COLE. Wheeling This subject is a bouncing fat boy of 165 pounds. He was born in Ceredo. eighteen hundred and something, just before Christmas. Corp, as he is generally called among his many friends, is a very great lover of ath- letics. At present he is assist am to Chez on the horse, and coach of the Cadet Basket Ball Team. His specialty is basket ball, but as the Faculty will not give him a degree of B. B., he has consented to become a candidate for an A. B. By a unani- mous vote of the Junior Class, Cole was elected Treasurer, and we think that he has performed his duties ex- ceptionally well, for not a single cop- per has been allowed to leave his hands. Like the elder Robert Lee. he possesses the traits of a general. How- ever, in this peaceful epoch of our country, he will direct his talents and efforts upon the school children and become a much-beloved professor. MARY COPLIN, Bootbsvillc Her entrance was quiet and unobtru- sive, but her clear mind and studious habits quickly made her presence felt. Mary Coplin was destined to become the delight of her professors, and the admiration and envy of her (lass- mates. So conscientious and faithful is she that her friends on a school night instinctively put on the full armor of persuasion before suggest- ing that she participate even in an all-round lark. Thus it is not strange that the verification of the class math- ematician was necessary when recently one of her pet subjects brought her a grade in the seventies. We predict that, unless Prince Charming succeeds in winning our talented sister, the author of Joy and Other Poems will find in her no mean rival. CHARLES SUMNER CROW. Point Marion There is something very remarkable connected with the gentleman whose picture adorns this page. To fully un- derstand and appreciate his impor- tance we must know something of the ti rnsp- ' - ' aton of souls. While he is not an Egyptian, according to the best information we can get, yet there is something connected with him that suggests transmigration of souls. In 1850, as the reader well knows, a gen- tleman was elected to the United States Senate from Massachusetts who afterwards became one of the most dis- tinguished debaters in that House. In view of our subject ' s success in the line of debate, more than thirty years after the. death of that distinguished man, we have been led to believe that Charles Sumner is still among us in the body of a Crow. FRANK OUTRIGHT. Sago The original name was Courtright, but finding that courting right was not a marked characteristic of the fam- ily it was changed to Cartright. His experience on the farm proved that he could not even cart right, and he exclaimed: I will cut it right out, hence the name Outright. If the rec- ords of the University were examined it would be found that the name came dangerously near being Can ' t-cut it- at-all. Unlike the rest of his class, he has no baby picture, due to the ante- photographic days in which he lived. Prom his youthful appearance it would seem that he had found the Fountain of Youth and had a second lease of life. EDWARD LUTHER DUDLEY, Grafton This young man, who has at last come to be a junior, was first heard of near the City of Grafton. All those events which took place in his child- hood shall have to be passed over in silence. We know nothing of them. Since his arrival here he has not been making any very great stir among his fellow-students — that is, he never loafs about the Smoke-House or organizes enthusiastic bands of rooters at a foot- ball game, but suffice it to say that he certainly does good work along the in- tellectual line. NELSON HAMMOND DUVAL, Nelse is as dignified and calm as an Autumn day. He is successful in everything — except his studies — espe- cially the ladies, who cannot withstand his grace, dignity and modesty. He is beloved by old and young, and can make a chaperon think he is a the- ological student in a ten-minute sit- ting. Nelse is particularly fond of night seances, and always goes stag to the dances. He is indisposed toward exertion, and delivers his quips and jests as solemn and playful as an owl. 57 CHARLES ALEXANDER ELLISON. Hans Creek The above-named specimen is dubbed Dixie, Lengthy and Shorty for short. In longitude he is considerable; in latitude not so much. He has a striking appearance, a win- ning way. and a voice that can be heard. Soon after his birth he hiked over to Morgantown, and has been here ever since. While he has not accom- plished much, he has at least become well known. Among other things, he is a great Military Man. The greatest military feat to his credit is the famous raid of the state at the head of the Glee Club. It looked for a while as if all was lost at Durbin, but he laised the seige and came off victorious. To conclude with Charlie is a good young feller who uses the king ' s English indifferently. FRANK MERLE FIELD. Diliner, Pa. When Frank was a little fellow he was considered very bright. He could read to perfection; but when he at- tempted to write the lines would go diagonally to the page in spite of all he could do. When rebuked one day by his teacher he replied: I just can ' t stay on the lines, they wobble so. From that time he has been known among his associates as Wobble Field. As a lady ' s man he was never much of a success. Being very bash- ful, he always had a horror of girls. He loves to stand on the street corner and watch them go by, but he trembles with fear when one of them chances to look his way. c i m j J 58 BROOKS FLEMING, Fairmont This staid and dignified addition to the Law Class found his way into these classic halls last September. After get- ting all the knowledge possible at Princeton, he decided to try the Uni- versity. Brooks has always been a good boy. but we fear a trifle fickle. He first thought seriously of L . the next was a good little girl, and the third on the list was B . We are at a loss to know who is the fourth victim. Brooks is well known here, having achieved fame on the football team and in various other ways. ALEXANDER HARDIE FOREMAN, Grafton On the twelfth of June, eighteen eighty-three, in the ctiy of Grafton, the subject of this sketch was born, which is rather to the credit of the day than otherwise. His early life was spent in devising perpetual motion machines which never ran, but which gained for him the nickname Wheels. Foreman is a good thinker, but not a good stu- dent. If you happen around at his study hour you may possibly find him at his lessons, but it is a ten-to-one chance that he will be doing something entirely original. HARRY FRIEDMAN. Grafton You have here the opportunity of feasting your eyes upon Harry Fried- man, who traces his descent not from an ancestor five hundred years ago, but from one who flourished while the earth was yet an infant; viz, Abraham of biblical fame. Harry is Military. When he dons his artillery Captain ' s uniform and draws himself up to his full five feet of height one can see that he feels his responsibility. When view- ing him one instinctively thinks of the valiant ones of Israel in the palmy days of David. Unlike the majority of his race, he gets into an argument with anybody, or anything. We doubt if any member of the class knows more than Harry thinks he does. WILLIAM COLVER GIST. Wellsburi William Colver Gist first opened his eyes in Wellsburg some time in the eighties. Gist, as he is commonly known, is a very peculiar specimen of manhood. His speech and manner cause his fellow-students to gaze in wonder at him. His most precious possession is his smile, which rarely ever fails to disappear, especially since he has become sweet on one of Monon- galia ' s fair daughters. With all these he manages to make his professors be- lieve him a good student, and how he does it is a wonder. Surely one who can do that will succeed in life. SAMUEL FRANCIS HAMMER, Johnstown, Pa. Sam, as he is usually called, has spent the most of his existence in the western wilds of Pennsylvania. We have in Sam one of the best critics on football and professors ever known. He claims that he has seen football played at Indiana Normal and knows all about the game. Sam is a great lady ' s man, so he thinks, but the co- eds have not expressed any thoughts on the subject. He is at present think- ing seriously of going to Virginia. His pet course is Mechanics, judging by the number of times he has taken it. ARTHUR HALL. Grafton This young man, better known as Red, owing to the extreme bright- ness of his hair, is a production of a Taylor county farm, four miles from Grafton. Red ' s stern, straightfor- ward ways have won for him the posi- tion of gatekeeper for every ball game, dance, lecture, or social stunt of any kind given by the students, and some of his best friends are among those who have been taught the lesson thai it does not pay to try the bunco ' scheme at such places. We predict for Red a long life of happiness and prosperity. ROBERT DAVID HENNEN, Morgantown Bob has been Loafing about town for several years, and incidentally attend- ing the University. This year he took it into his head that he would like to become prominent in athletic affairs. Accordingly, he secured the manager- ship of the Scrub baseball team. Of course he cannot play ball himself, owing to his natural aversion to all kinds of muscular exertion; yet he likes to look on and oversee the job when others work. His present ambi- lion, so far as we have been able to learn, is to be at some time — no differ- ence when — a Bachelor of Science. LAWRENCE BENJAMIN HILL. Hill is a model young man. Von can see that easily in the part of his hair, the cut of his coat, even in the precise way he smiles; and in the peculiar manner in which he puts his foot down just in taking a casual walk. You never s?e Hill depart one jot from the rule of strict propriety. He takes the world much as if he were its cre- ator, and was personally responsible for the proper successions of the sea- sons. We would like to see him shift the burden for a while, lean bark or double over, whichever is most appro- priate, and take a good laugh; but that is beyond the reach of probability. JOHN QU1NCY HUTCHINSON History has recorded the illustrious names of John the Baptist, Josiah Quincy, and Thomas Hutchinson. Since the name of this sketch combines all three, he surely must have a good fu- ture before him. He is of extreme nervous temperment, and it has been said that he is very ambitious. We wonder how Hutch can play Pedro all Saturday night and then spend Sunday in church. It has been hinted that he will talk with the co-eds in nooks unfrequented, but we can hardly believe this. Probably no one knows better than himself what an important part he takes in framing the destiny of this institution. Judging by his past interest in politics, we predict for him a glorious political career. EDWARD HANSON KNABENSHUE, Buckhannon For a long time there dwelt in the land of Upshur a man by the name of Knabenshue. And unto him a son was born, and they named him Edward. Now this Edward was a goodly youth, and as the years increased so did his knowledge and wisdom. And it came to pass that after he had taken unto himself a wife, his native town became too small for his vast and learned mind, so he journeyed to the Univer- sity. His interest in his class was at pnce made apparent. Are not the rest 01 his deeds written in Fast and Max- well ' s Book of West Virginia? WAYNE M ' CORMfCK MILLER, Morgantown Several years ago the state of Penn- sylvania was startled to hear the ad- vent of a new son, who later was called Wayne Miller. After waiting in pain- ful expectancy for him to do something- great , the state suddenly discovered that he had deserted her and gDne to West Virginia. Here he soon won fame and fortune by being chosen as- sistant doorkeeper of the Engineering Society of the West Virginia Uni- versity. This followed soon after his original paper, The Difference Be- tween the Static and Dynamic Force Required in Squeezing. Wayne is a very pretty boy, and should be popular with the ladies. His strongest point is his singing, by which accomplishment he won a place on the Glee Club, and secured quite a boost in the Dellslow Times. DANA PAUL MILLER. Fairmont The most remarkable feature of Dana Miller ' s life is that there is noth- ing remarkable in it. An exceeding degree of backwardness and distrust of himself, probably well foundedd, has sufficed to render his name and per- son rather neagtive. But Dana has his good qualities and ambitions. For one thing, he is innocuous and unsophisti- cated, with a liking for bought cigarettes and good clothes. Moreover, Dana cherishes Florodora designs of being a Military Man, convinced that otherwise he has no chance with Jane or Flo or Mary. It is safe to predict for him that he will yet wear stripes. In short, Dana will never instigate a conflagration sufficient to consume the cosmos, but will certainly live happy, die contented, and meet Saint Peter with a new suit and clear conscience. (14 RUSSELL MILLAN, Mannington fjiiss. ;is he is commonly called, comes to ns from near Mannington. Since his arrival here he has been tak- ing an active interest in almost all University functions. As a Military Man he bids fair to become a greal general. All the rats in Company C have to toe the mark when Cap- tain Millan says so. He has the spirit of the modern politician. Ever on the alert, he never fails to be on hand at all class elections. Taking him all in all. Russ is a good young fellow, his greatest weakness being his irresist- ible craving for apples and home-made sweets. ANTHONY FIELDING M ' CUE. This specimen looks like Old Hick- ory or the map of Ireland, and believes that the world would be lonesome with- out him. Mac as he is known, be- cause of the above, came here from Buckhannon. and judging from the amount of talking he does the others at the Sem must have been mere figureheads — but what a comedown! He speaks a strange, uncouth dialect peculiar to himself; probably he ran onto this in the wilds of Nicholas, from where he hails. It is even rumored that the first time Mac ever saw the cars was when he left for Buck- hannon five years ago. However. Mac is not all wrong, and it is to he hoped that he will make a lawyer some day. MARSHALL WOODROW MACDONALD, Charles Town Mac, as he is familiarly known among his associates, is a great lover of athletics, and has done much to uphold the Junior Class in football. He is short of stature, large of head, has curly hair, a guileless smile, and two lovely dimples. Turns pale and trembles at the mention of Mechanics exam. Mac also seems extremely fond of his cadet uniform and is rarely if ever seen without it. r ' JOHN GUY PRICHARD, Rivesville On May 24, 1879, in the quiet village of Hoodsville. a male child was born. The child waxed and grew strong, and is now a Junior. If to be popular is to be an organization man surely he can claim title to the honor, for he belongs to all except sororities — and is even said to have considered strongly the advisability of joining one of these. However, he changed his mind and is still a bachelor. He is a born politician and we expect to hear from him in the halls of Con- gress some day. 66 RICHARD M ' SHERRY PRICE. Charleston Isn ' t it cute. This is little Richard Price, better known as Dick. Dick came to us from Hampden-Sidney Now, whether he had to come or came on his own accord no one has been able to find out, but he at once be- came ' , ' one of the boys. He has had all the co-eds in love with him, and is now like Alexander, only sighing for more hearts to conquer. He has lately become famous as an orchestra leader, and his roommate frequently sees him conducting an imaginary orchestra in his sleep. How he man- ages to bluff his professors is a ques- tion that is agitating the minds of his fellow-students. Dick says it is all by studying, but we don ' t know what to think of it. HERH£EL HAMILTON ROSE, Mannington Rose is from Froggy Meadow, Augusta County. He never had any youth, but from the beginning knew as much as his father and argued the question with him. He is now chiefly famous for his arguments, which are dignified by being called debates. He has a great many opinions. On poli- tics, religion and literary subjects they are opposite yours, and he will con- vince you that he is right if you at- tempt to argue with him. In his early days he had some ambition along ath- letic lines, but they don ' t seem to hurt him now. As an athlete he organized a football team at Mannington, the capital of Augusta County, and played the W. V. U. Scrubs one game. His team lost, but he made himself famous by inventing the well-known battle cry of Mannington back. 67 EARLE WALTON REILEY, Hinton In September. 1901, there arrived upon the University campus a slender, black-haired prep. In a shy and timid manner, he approached ihe registrar ' s desk and subscribed Earl? Walton Reiley. Hinton. W. Va. When he beheld his own name his timidity immediately disappeared and ha- never returned. One of tha most dis- tinguishing characteristics of Fudge is his unconscious innocence of all propriety in speech. His kindnesses and childlike simplicity of utteiane is irresistible, and seemingly incapable of correction. Walton is such a nice little boy that the girls all treat him as one of their kind. By them he i3 supposed to be harmless and easy. Be- ware, fair ones! It is rumored that the innocent youth is a gay deceiver: yea, verily, a wolf in sheep ' s clothing. Trust him not! Reiley ' s major sub- ject is girl. His electives are being taken in Civil Engineering, which he expects to make his life work. HENRY MAXWELL SCHRADER, Lubee In the year eighteen hundred and froze to death there was occasion for great rejoicing in Germany. This was called forth by the birth of Henry Max- well Schrader. Henry is a jolly Dutchman of the old type, but in- stead of settling down to his pipe and stein he has entered the Civil En- gineering Class, and will no doubt be- come — in time — one of the leading civil engineers, judging by his fond- ness for Mechanics. Socially Henry is an all around good fellow, bill besides this he, like some of his ancestors. plays the fiddle admirably, which, of course, charms the co-eds. Their smiles, however, seem to have but little effect, for Henry only winks and says that he is too young. HARRIET TALBOTT STALNAKER, Martinsbui Harriet was born in York, Penn., in the year eighteen hundred and ever so many. A deep regard for the truth compels us to say that during her ca- reer in the University she has given a good deal of attention to such rela- tively unimportant subjects as music, literature and science, and has been inclined to neglect library, cam- pus. and other subjects of equally high value. We have been unable to secure, as we had hoped to do, a com- plete list of the places in Morgantown where she has roomed and boarded. A partial list, which is the result of much careful search, was submitted to the Monticola, but was declined on ac- count of space limit. It is to be re- gretted that .Miss Stalnaker ' s great literary masterpiece. The Transac- tions of ' OG, is no longer extant. BIRK SMITH STATHERS. Clarksburg Birk, as men reckon time, has been a resident of this mundane sphere twenty years; but if diversity of talent and variety of experience are taken into account, he has been here longer than that. He has spent a summer or two rivaling Sport Morris in the brass band lot sale business, and has mixed up once or twice in college poli- tics, of which he bears no scars. Just now he is engaged in running the Ath- letic Association, and next fall he ex- pects to try his hand at helping to manage a winning football team. In- cidentally, Stathers is Editor-in-Chief of this publication, which, if common modesty forbade not. we would say is conclusive proof of his genius. WILLIAM HENRY WAYT, Grafton This is the type of man who goes around with but little to say and walks as quietly as if he were afraid of wak- ing the bady. He was born in the hills of Wetzel County, and spent his early life in agricultural pursuits. He is now a member of the Junior Class and will receive his degree of A. B. in ' OG. He is tall, straight and dignified, and wears a pedagogical look of the jolly old type. His name is William Henry Wayt. However, he seldom Wayts if an opportunity presents itself for mak- ing others happy or improving himself. Suffice it to say that judging the fu- ture by the past hs success is assured. CHARLES EVANS WELLS, Wheeling Charles was born in Wheeling some time during the nineteenth century. This bright-eyed, curly-headed, rosy- cheeked little chap learned to talk when he was three months old; and has never been known to draw a breath since without uttering a word. To ex- press it in other words, he is a per- petual talking machine. Snakes, as he is generally known, came to Mor- gantown in the fall of 1901, and regis- tered for a course in Agriculture, but finding it too stiff changed to B. S. C. E. Since his arrival here Snakes has taken some part in everything going, even going so far as to display his native ability as an actor. This year also finds him in the race for Lauras and the prospects are brighter than ever. At one time Snakes confidently said: Don ' t you know, I don ' t regret a cent of the amount I have spent on her. i 7M HOUSTON GOFF YOUNG, Craigmoor Twenty-two years ago near Clarks- burg the subject of this sketch was christened Houston Goff Young. Piety to himself has given him the name of Deacon. . After graduat- ing from the West Virginia Confer- ence Seminary he entered the Uni- versity to prepare himself for his life work. While it is true that Deacon has spent the greater part of his time dabbling in college politics, he has spent some little time on his studies, and is one of our best stu- dents. Deacon is famous for these words: I do not intend to let my studies interfere with my college course. HECTOR KENZfE MACQUARRIB, The hero of this sketch first saw the light of day up in Nova Scotia, near the haunts of the Aurora Borealis, and, though he has long since taken up his abode in a warmer clime, the frigidity of the Arctic atmosphere still hangs about him. After graduating from Franklin College, Ohio, he entered the Law School of the University, and is now preparing himself for great fu- ture accomplishments. Mac ' s bump of prognostication is quite abnormally developed, and one of his linguistic outbursts is the personification of am- bigious ambiguity. The friend he thinks the most of is Hector Kenzie MacQuarrie. He assumes a very pat- ronizing air toward the girls; is popu- lar among his classmates, and we ex- pect him to attain a great degree of proficiency in his life work. (Llass of 1906 Allison.

Some years ago there came together a great crowd of people. And they were called Preps. From this indiscriminate mass the professors selected the best and said one unto the other: Of these let us make the class of 1906. And so it was done, the good were placed apart from the ones of lesser worth. Now, when this had been done they called the good ones, Freshmen, but the others they still called Preps. And of such was the Cla ss of 1907. Now, when these Freshmen met they chose as their leader a brave man, noted far and wide for his prowess, and his name was Martin. Under him this class did not, as had been the custom, content themselves with making faces like little children, but like men rushed into open battle. And so when the conflict was ended the Regents came together, and after grave consultation, in order to do fitting honor to the battle and to keep in remembrance the name of the leader of the Class of 1906, called one of the buildings Martin Hall. So a year passed, and when the Class of 1906 again came together they were called Sophomores. But some had been found wanting and because the professors would allow only the best in this class they were put back with the ' 07 ' s. Then the Sophomores chose Reiley to lead them and went out to teach the Freshmen the ways of the world. Now these Freshmen were exceedingly green and required much training. That they ever became Sophomores is due to the watch- ful care of the Class of 1906. Nor did the ' 06 ' s forget the maxim, Spare the rod and spoil the child, for more than once correction was required. As is common with children, the 07 ' s cried a great deal and made much noise, but, knowing it was for their good, the Sophomores did not falter, but punished them quite liberally. Then the Faculty decreed that they should set high on the clock tower the numerals ' 06 as a goal of the highest excellency, and ever since the lower classes have followed their good example. As if by magic another year passed, for thus do the years go by, and now the class was called Junior. And the name signifies those who have passed the green- ness of the Freshmen, the bumptiousness of the Sophomores, but are graciously spared the abnormal cranial increase of the Seniors. It is that year when students are a blessed comfort to their teachers, for they have learned some and yet do not think they know it all. And this year they chose a learned man named Hill for their leader, for now their days of warfare were over. In this class were now gathered the best the school had yet produced. It had mighty warriors who fought the battles of the school on the held, orators and statesmen who would some day lead the state aright, men of art and science and letters, and others skilled in the interpretation of the law , men who some time would teach the young, and others who would make the world better by their burning words of truth, and last and best, fair women who had added unto themselves knowledge and yet were sweet and womanly. Thus lived in peace the Class of igo6. And they came together and said: nr days together, our work, our play; have been very pleasant: may the future years ne ' er tear asunder the bonds of friendship here formed, the hearts that beat in sympathy with each other. ftemker, 1 ,,.L at cnon [V.T l] Scenes on (Theat 3 iver r- m jLm 77 Officers President, - - Stephen Goodloe Jackson Vice-President-, - - Robert Parvin StricklEr Secretary, - Maud Evans Diu.K Treasurer, - - Francis CareETON Coeccrd Historian, - - - John Charles Eerry Cheer Leader, - Harry Hart dolors Red and Blue. 78 79 Sophomore !5 oll Back m w.

E Parkersburg 80 Sophomore Dfistor The history of a college class from its birth into the college world to its death in the commencement of another era of man ' s existence is generally lie same in all essentials as that of its predecessor and that of the class to follow. As a usual thing, what differences do exist are but minor matters and chance occurrences. But here and there are found classes which do differ, and in such a way that it is said of them, It were better had they never been born. And. very infrequently, perhaps once in the experience of an ins itu- tion. comes a class pervaded by a spirit perceptibly higher and better than that of the common run, one endowed with a superior intelligence and capacity tor learning, one having more than usual strength and power, mentally, morally and physically ; in short, one favored by a more generous — a kinder Providence. Such a one is the Class of 1907, now the Sophomore Class of West Virginia University. Gathered from all the nooks and corners and crannies of this sovereign state, with the addition of a few from the borders of other commonwealths, the}- came, all sizes, all natures, all appearances, from the banks of the Potomac, the Kanawha and the Ohio, from the mountains of the east and from the river bottoms of the west. On a bright day in the month of September, in the year of our Lord. 1903. this conglomerate mass of youthful and knowledge-seeking humanity came together for the first time at Morgan- town to be moulded and welded into a homogeneous mass. This mass had many places in it of a verdant line, and, in truth, the greater part of the whole was of a more or less noticeable greenish tint. In this it resembled all other such bodies from time immemorial, but in its speech recovery from that condition it proved its individuality and pre-eminence. As is the custom with college classes, i. effected an organization ver early in its career and selected as leaders an efficient set of officers, under whom it gained victories of every kind over the other classes. A class war succeeded upon the organization and [907 in the contests with the then Sophomore:, proved that, though patches of green might be discerned among its ranks, there were no streaks of yellow. The members of [906 attempted by tin- use of all the means within their power to overcome SI hem, not even excepting kidnapping, imprisonment and shipping out of the country. I ' ■ was all in vain. In the second year of its college life, 1907 had a slight brush with the Freshmen, which was even easier than their first experience. But the Fresh- men were young and performed very creditably taking into consideration their youth and inexperience. The Class of 1907 has done at leas one thing for which it is entitled to the gratitude of the college world in general and the Freshman Class in particular. It saw the failings and shortcomings of the tirst-year class, and not only saw. but acted. The ' 07 ' s prepared a set of rules and regulations under which the Class of [908 was to live and improve the manner of its life. These precepts were put upon a placard, and in the dark hours of the night (in order that no one should he disturbed) posted in public places. Since then a great improvement has been noted in the conduct of the Freshman Class. In athle ics as in everything else 1007 has gained laurels. In football the class has been as successful as in all other forms of sport. During the last football season, the team wearing upon its sweaters 1907 won the inter-class championship. All Varsity teams, on the gridiron, the diamond and the track, have among their membership men who also belong to the Class of 1 07. So successful has this class been in athletics, and in the same degree all affairs with which it has come in contact have prospered. Such a union and combination ii all virtues and powers as exists in the Sophomore Class of this year (this is said with all modesty and after dee]) and thorough consideration) cannot be downed. HISTORIAN . 82 r ARRIVED An Unsophisticated herd of up-starts, who originated, judging by by their appearance, in the mountains, woods, and coal mines. Their outward appearance somewhat resembles that of ordinary mortals; but the best naturalists have not been able to discover any trace of intelligence in them. This want is supplied by an unlimited amount of nerve, greenness, baldness, gawki- ness, awkwardness, and a total lack of appreciation of their humble and lowly station in life. A LIBERAL REWARD Is ofrered for the discovery of any horse sense or ability in the whole green but-in-Ski bunch. Worthless? Well I Guess. They have had the assurance to advertise themselves for .08 but their real value is expressed by omitting the eight. At least these vermin have been classified on account of their verdancy and impudence as FRESHME With a view to curbing their violence by teaching them the meek- ness and humility which is expected of them, there have been laid down the following TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR FRESHMEN: I FRESHMEN MUST POSITIVELY BE IN THEIR ROOMS BY 9:30 P M. VII FRESHMEN MUSI NOT BUT IN, OR READILY GIVE THEIR WORTHLESS II FRESHMEN MUST TIP THEIR HATS TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE FACULTY. OPINION ON ANY SUBJECT.

S Long Acre 8G leaves JFVom a Jfresfyman s iDiar? September 21. Hurrah! Morgantown at last! The first clay is over, registration is com- pleted, and I ' m a Freshman. Say, but I feel big; and gee, but they put 1 fellow through lo ' :s of red tape business before he gets to know where he is at. Tin ' s morning about nine o ' clock 1 started the rounds, but did not really finish until four this p. m . First I joined a lot of other fellows around a big table in the President ' s office, where I had to fill out the registration blank. They made me tell more about myself than I knew. Then I took this paper across the hall to an open doorway. The man who sat behind the table in this room wore a white cap — 1 wonder why. Me took the paper, giving me a card in return but said I could not register as a Freshman until I handed in my record from the old High School. So he put me down as a Special. I tell yon i didn ' t like this much; they say everybody ' s a Special who can ' t get into the class he wants to enter. I kept on the rounds, paid my registration fee. ami dun went home to dig in my trunk for my record of grades. When I took it up they said I was all right and that I could be a Freshman. As I was walking through the hall a little fellow looked at me and said to another fellow, Prep. He mean one of them fellows that don ' t know enough to be a Freshman. I just looked down on him for a minute and then said, Prep nothing; I ' m a Freshman. After a lot more running around from one professor to another I got my work all planned out and I ' m ready to begin to-morrow in earnest. This evening 1 went up to that big square building, Commencement Hall, they call it. Mere I heard a lecture by a man named Doctor Vincent. Heat any campaign speech I ever heard. He was up on a big platform where there ' s a great big organ with green and silver pipes, and one of them three-legged pianos He lectured us fellows all about going to college and aboui being educated so that we can do something in the world and keep cool about it. loo. When he got through I was gladder than ever that I ' m here and that I ' m a Freshman. October 13. Brite and fare, as |immv savs in his diary. Well, this sun- has been a big -lav. E ' ve been thinking ' all along that the Freshmen were about the only people, and this evening we organized as a class. As we went np to the meeting we saw crowds of fellows standing with their beads together, and we seen ed trouble. When we readied Room 22, Woodburn, there was such a jam of fellows in the room that for a while we couldn ' t tell Freshmen from ihose fellows who think they know more. - ' After a while one of tb ■ Sophomores succeeded in getting the floor, and undertook in a very convincing argument to persuade the Freshmen tha their best plan was to adopt a sit ol rules that bad been drawn up. He then proceeded to read ten command- ments for the government of Freshmen. This modern Moses was scarcely given time to finish before he was pulled down amid groans and hisses, and he and bis band of law-givers were requested to leave the room until our organization was completed. We promised to meet them later. Officers were soon elected and our class organized. Three of the girls bad honored the meeting with their presence, and they helped us out amazingly later. We learned that the Sophs were guarding the front doors, and that they proposed to make us go ou ' : the back way. But did we? Well, 1 wonder! Quickly the boys surged down the steps, look one glance at the Formidable looking mass of humanity packed against the doors, and with a mighty rush swept down upon it. Xevcr did the walls of ( )ld Woodburn ring to the echo of a more royal bat le. Again and again the valiant foe was burled back from the doors, only to gather new strength and again force them shut. At last, unable longer to resist the terrific onslaught of the heroic Freshmen, they were compelled to yield. The mighty doors swung wide, and the victorious army proudly escorted the admiring girls, who up to this time bad stood on the steps encouraging with their cheers, past the conquered foe. down the hall, and through the front doors. We still chink that we are the people. October 14. Evidently Moses spent a very busy night. At least it appeared so when we came forth this morning. On every telephone and electric pole, on the library doors, above the doors, on he walks, in every hallway, everywhere, appeared yellow placards bearing in bold black capitals: Arrived ' 08 Freshmen. Of course we didn ' t mind being advertised, but below in small print appeared some remarks which were not exactly complimentary, and at the bottom of the poster were Ten Commandments for Freshmen. Below the commandments were he ominous words ' Woe be unto all Freshmen breaking these commandments, for the day of reckoning is at hand. ' And as soon as the commandments came abroad the Freshmen gathered all the men of valor, and they took counsel together, and they lifted up their voices and said: We will not hearken un o the decree of the elders, neither will we Ik- afraid or dismayed by reason of their multitude, for behold, last night did we smite the enemy until our fear came upon them. Therefore, in our wrath will we again fall upon them, and by the justice of our cause we shall prosper. Selah ! October 15. There air no commandments for Freshmen!!! This morning in place of yellow placards were neat red posters, bearing in black leiters the prophetic symbol: ' 08 Freshmen. Even on the immaculate sidewalk in front of the Phi Kappa l ' si fraternity house, ' 08 appeared in great red figures, close by the record of the immortal score, W. V. 6 — W.-J. o. Can it he that this is an omen of the success that shall ever accompany die ' o8 ' s?

From time out of memory it has been the custom for the history of this class to be written in an elaborate, formal style. The precedent, therefore, is too well established .« be disregarded. And even if it were not, in no other way can the achievements and characteristics of the Law Class of 1905 be fitly told. The time was when the Law Class was known as Dr. Johnson ' s animals. Later on its numbers were called barbarians. They have now become highly civilized, and. indeed, are the admiration of all the other classmen, the deligh: of their professors, and the pride of the University. As to what we did in our Junior year we shall say but little. Three times each of us made a grade of 70 under Professor W ' illey. Book by book we conquered Blackstone. Black Acre, White Acre, the Manor of Dale, all the estates that could ever have been had in them, borough English, gavel- kind and the great English laws and cus ' :oms from the time of Alfred the ib-eat to the reign of Edward VII. still linger in our memories. ( hie other thing we did. In the very beginning of our career we resolved that the integrity of our class should be maintained. None but candidates for a degree or a diploma should be counted in our number. The Specials should no: sit in our councils nor share in our deliberations. To carry out this resolution, however, was no small task; for not all of the class agreed on it. Caucus after caucus was called; and meeting after meeting was held. In the vn the resolution carried. ( )ur Senior year has been an epoch of continuous peace. Not even at ' lie election of our class officers was i: greatly threatened. Under the wise administration of an easy ruler we have turned our energies along all the lines of student activity and have become indeed an illustrious class, whose mem- bers shine conspicuously in every department of University life. ( )n the base bail diamond Hertzler and Purinton are both s.ars, and on the gridiron Bingamon and Stout are men of great renown. In the track meets Ingram and Rancher have both been victors. ( )f the members of the CAw Club, three are from the Senior Law Class — Carney, Alarcum and Townshend. In the Literal y Societies we are represented by such men as Amos, Flenniken, Reger, Turner and Waychoff. The true merit and genuine worth of the class is universally recognized. We mention these specific facts that we may nol appear egotistic or boastful. But our strong point and die thing in which we most delight is the study of the Law. In it do we meditate day and night. We remember very dis- tinctly Professor Willey ' s lecture on An Accurate Knowledge of the Law, delivered the first day we entered his class in our Junior year. We were impressed by the lecture and have ' cried to follow the precepts laid down in it. With how great success will no doubt appear later. We extend our sincerest thanks to the Regents for the Law Library and the provisions the}- have made for keeping it always open. We recognize the fact that the law students of past days were not thus favored. But no one can be completely blest. The class of 1905 has often been driven almost to despair by the foul odors coming from the .Medical Department beneath us. and the indescribable sounds, moans and screams that come from the Musical Department overhead. Why we should be thus afflicted we cannot see. Nevertheless, as the Professors of Martin Hall will testify, the class is always in a good humor, and is noted for its unusual good spirits and its vociferous manner of showing them. It can truly be said that die Senior Law Class of 1905 was never guilty of making anyone sad. Our associations have been most pleasant and it is with regret that we bid a final farewell to the University and to each other as fellow-students. We do so. not boasting of what we have done, but read}- to show what, by having used our time at W. V. I ., we now are able to do. To the men of 1905, a toast: Xo matter where you ' re from May the best day you have ever seen Be worse than your worst to come. HISTORIAN. 93 J UN1C LAW OR :£ Officers 1 ' resident.

I enter upon the stage in the first act of this marvelous drama under the dramatis persona of a modern Herodotos, whose mission it is to delineate the virtues, the wisdom and the omnipotent power of the greatest class that ever passed its time (not examinations) at a University. But I fear that in my modest) I shall fail to pay honor to whom honor is due. With that instinct 1 experience the same the Hindoo does when he bows before his idol — ] feel that you are ugly, but 1 know that yon are great. As Venus sprang from the brain of Jove so did the Junior Law Class suddenly appear one fair day last Autumn. Soon the future lawyers, judges and statesmen were pleasantly settled, some taking up temporary residences at the Delicatessan. others at the Beanery. Remembering the promises pledged to fond mothers, the majority joined the Y. M. C. A. and agreed to drink nothing stronger than apollinaris water. All things were as unruffled as the hair on Squire Barker ' s head until some august senior tacked a notice on the bulletin board. That was a warning. The warriors immediately put on their war paint, assembled in the wigwam, and prepared to die. Ah! my fellow-students, shall we ever forget that night? As our Methodist friends would saw we felt that it was good to be there. Someone proposed that a Senior be elected president, but the Juniors preferred one of their own number. Still another Senior thought that we ought to adjourn. Then came a struggle for the door, and bidding for the privilege was as keen as the buying of stocks at the New York Stock Exchange. So through the night did the struggle continue. Eyes sparkled, teeth grated, hands waved and voices grew hoarse. Finally we elected for our presidenl mil one From the bogs of Ireland, nor from the wilds of Canada, not from ( hio or Pennsylvania, but a naturalized citizen of the State of West Virginia. Yews of the great event was printed far and wide, and from that night the Junior Law Class has been thought to be capable of managing its own affairs Thus in the ear nineteen hundred and four a new era dawned upon the venerable University. A law class, thought (?) to be the brightest ever enrolled, entered her portals. If yon do not believe me, 1 will refer you to Professor Willey, who was required to elevate his standard of grading in order 9G to do us justice, and Professor Maxey, who, having provided a box of oat; For the ponies, was utterly astounded to learn that there were none to feed. (They had been fed in advance.) Ours is the best behaved class as well. Doctor Brooke has often praised our conduct. He has been so pleased that he has often mentioned it in a heart to heart talk. The Juniors know how to keep their feet still, chairs in their places, and at all times refrain from throwing paper halls and overshoes ( since we lost Kuhle). ( )ur class holds a high standing in a social way. Early in the Fall some joined the Turn Vcrin Social Club and at once rose to prominence. e also set a good example by refusing to patronize the speakeasies, and instead gave our money to the church. It is needless to say that all respect us. With a timid awe the I ' reps cease to loiter when, in a solid phalanx, we sweep the stairs and march through the halls. Even Jack Hare, that stern potentate of Prepdom, fulfills our every desire. All of our professors love us, and the girls simply admire us as they blush from the windows of the Ladies ' Parlor. But no me is truly great without his faults. So it is with the Junior Law Class. Our unquenchable love for mailpouch has become quite serious. Professor Willey has told us that it is a grave fault, and we admit it. Hut it is to our everlasting credit that we never expectorate upon the floor. To you who are embryo lawyers in Prep, heed this advice — don ' t use mailpouch. You may smoke Wheeling stogies to your heart ' s content, hut don ' t use mailpouch. We are extremely proud of the literary talent in our class as shown by the following books: Politics. WacOuarrie ; Domestic Relations, Hundt (Mary Jones); Elements of Ventriloquism, Honecker; Recovery of Property. Hutch- inson; New Edition of Blackstone, Kuble ; Sane Persons and Others, Shull ; Theory of Debate, Rose; Prat Licenses, Lohm ; Military Law, McNeil. (In this work the leading character is a captain who in froglike voice exclaims, What ' s matter that guard there? ) Thus it ma} ' seem that we have a class unsurpassed in intelligence, undaunted in courage, amiable in disposition, chivalrous in society, and when we shall have attained the glory of alumni, then we will have acquired the ultimate limit of the lawyer and statesman.

Before us there was none, and what man of us can tell what corneth after us. And it came to pass in the days of John, whose surname is Simpson, thai a Medical Department was established in the West Virginia University. An agreement was made with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Balti- more, whereby that institution is made the Medical Department of the West Virginia University, so arranging that the first two years of the medical course are given in Morgantown and the last two years in Baltimore. The men whose names are enrolled in this class began their work here in the fall term. 1903. Since then our life has been one long happy summer ' s day. We have had nothing whatever to do — but work. Recitations from 8:30 to [2:30, Anatomical Laboratory 1:30 to 4:30, 430 to 5:30 washing our hands. Having space, we are pleased to enumerate some of the incidents which make up the history of this illustrious class. Our first experience was in Anatomy. We had finished ' 4 ' rep anatomy and physiology, and some of us hardly thought it necessary to study anatomy longer as we had learned to trace the circulation of the blood and could name most of the bones. So we were greatly surprised when Doctor Simpson informed us that we would study anatomy during the first two years, and directed us to the bookstore, where we received a copy of Gray ' s Anatomy, Imperial octavo, 1,259 pages, bound in sheep. At the sight of that volume there was a rapid infiltration of polymorphous ideas into the cerebral cortex. Ah! we saw visions and dreamed dreams that did not disturb the electrotonic equilibrium of the nervi erigentes in the least. However, we love Gray. One of our number became so interested that he took a special course in Gray at Pittsburg during the Summer. During the Winter, Spring and Fall terms we took the course in Physiology, and many of us have become expert Physiologists. Bucky Moser can count the red corpuscles in the web of a frog ' s foot and tell the pond where the tadpole was hatched. During this course many frogs gave up their lives in the interest of science. The long, cold, dreary Winter months passed — am! so did we. Spring came The trees put forth their leaves, flowers bloomed, and the grass grew again on the campus. Tn the balmy days of June the last remnants of the cadavers (called by the laity, hies) were gently laid to rest in a quiet enclosure on the State Farm — there to await the resurrection at the beginning of the Fall term. We had finished our first year in medicine, and after banqueting at the St. Clair we said good-by and parted for our several places of abode. When the roll was called at the beginning of the Fall term we found that four of our number had left us for the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Baltimore. Our second year might be designated as the era of Justinian, characterized by a hyperplasia of laboratory work, proliferation of reading and a general infiltration of quizzes. Doctor Post acquainted us with F acteriology so thoroughly that we recognize those little microbe organisms at sight and call them by name. Our class numbers sixteen. We are represented on the Glee Club by four men, on the football team by three, on the basball team by two. and on the basketball team by two. Special characteristics of our class are loo numerous to mention, but we have decided on the following: That Hall is the happiest, Campbell is the prettiest, Moser is the wisest, We Find Dunham the most pious. Charles Ergatine Pearcy knows Matera Medica, and Kid Taylor and Smithy know Anatomy. As the second year completes the work given in medicine at Morgantowii ' we now say good-by to the West Virginia University and the friends we leave and love. We have learned to love the old gold and blue, and when we have received the coveted degree and have gone out in the world to practice our profession, no matter to what distant state we may wander, whether on land or on sea, in the hospital or at the bedside in the home, we shall always be glad to hear of the progress of the West Virginia University , and the two years we have spent within her halls shall be to us always a pleasant memory.

A soft light, not vet rosy from the dawn, mingled with the breaking darkness. Somewhere among the lilac bushes a sparrow stirred, drew his head from under his wing, and, seeing- the faint light, chirped to it cheerfully. Xear by another answered, and another, and another, and another; the warblers in the hedge took up the song , and in a moment the blackbirds were waking and added their noisy clatter to the fidl burst of the morning- chorus. Upstairs in the old farmhouse a young girl waked also and smiled, heard the rousing ' chorus and smiled again. Those birds, how she loved them! She remembered how they used to waken her, and how she had slipped out in the dam]) morning- air, showering ' her bare feet with dewdrops from the drip- ping grasses, to hear the thrushes sing in the thicket, down by the pasture lot. She saw herself, a tiny, dark-haired creature, swinging dreamily in the orchard swing. She felt the swift exhilaration of the upward movement, the flutter of wind about her ears and the soft locks drifting across her face as she dew backward, and saw the clouds of pink-tinted petals, that the sturdy apple branch above shook down upon her. How far away that little figure seemed, and yet scarcely distant, either, for somehow a wider, deeper knowledge had not yet rubbed the bloom off those earliest experiences. She turned lazily upon the cool pillow and threw out one white arm, and lay gazing at the soft laces about her wrist. How the little girl would have loved such things, she thought. Those had been hard days, long ago, and the little girl had felt the burden of their cramped, hard life. Below, the household was stirring. She heard the banging of the closet door, a shoe dropped heavily, and the soft hum of voices came up to her. She looked about the clean, cool little room, bare as when she left it for school, four years before, and smiled. It ' s good to be home again, she whispered. A fragrant steam of boiling coffee and sputtering ham filled the big kitchen when the girl descended. Her mother, a weary-looking woman in a shabby gown, was stooping over the stove tending the breakfast, and Janet at once took up the morning tasks that bad been hers before she left for school. The college she attended being in a distant state, the vacations had been spent with nearer relatives, and this was her first visit home. Nothing was 246 changed. The bare, dirty-walled kitchen, crowded with implements from every department of farm life, the dining roorh with its broad table covered with a red and white cloth and set with heavy dishes, were just the same. As she deftly browned the toast, the girl watched her mother. She had seemed tired the evening before, but the lamplight had been merciful. The clear morning light showed her face seamed with wrinkles, faded and spirit- less . ' Idle very droop of her shoulders and her shuffling feet spoke of utter weariness. Haven ' t you been well, mother? asked the girl after a little. Not very; it seems as if everything sort of m akes me tired. said the mother wearily; I ain ' t been feeling real well for some time. They worked in silence until the steaming dishes were upon the table and the heavy bell called the family to breakfast. Janet was wondering what the children were like. The}- came rushing j n an( J as s ] u . watched them frankly she saw that John, the eldest, was tall and awkward, hut manly, while the dark-haired Ethel was strikingly like the little girl herself, in her straight gingham pinafore. The father came in from the barn, glowing and jolly after bis morning chores. Hello, big sister, he called; thought you ' d want an extra nap this mornin ' , so I didn ' t call you. Got ahead of me, didn ' t you? Janet laughed. The birds called me, she said. Kid they come to the window and peck and tell you it ' s time to get up, like they do for me? asked Ethel eagerly. Janet laughed merrily, thinking of the little girl again. No, dear, they didn ' t, and yet — I ' m not sure — perhaps, then laughing, Well, the} - didn ' t peck on my window, anyway. It was a cheerful meal in spite of the mother ' s silence. The father glanced often at Janet ' s fresh young face, his own lighting up as he watched her. He. was not a demonstrative man, but he laughed as he pushed back his chair, It ' s good to have you back, Jannie, he said; it sort of brightens things up. Janet and Ethel piled up the knives and forks, and cleared the table. What are you going to do this morning, mother? asked Janet, looking up from a steaming dish-pan. The washing, said the mother, bustling about the kitchen, arranging boxes, tubs, and baskets. Aren ' t you too tired? said Janet as the great willow basket, heaped with soiled apparel, was brought in. It ' s got to be done, answered the mother, sorting out the white clothes into the tub. The daughter said nothing more. She was pressing the dish 247 towels up and down in a pan of water, thoughtfully. She wrung them out, hung them to dry and drew on a long-sleeved gingham apron. The mother was carrying heavy buckets of water from the well to hll the great tin hoiier, bending almost double under their weight. Janet picked up a bucket and joined her. They went back and forth with the heavy buckets until Janet ' s arms were aching with the strain. Is that all? she said, panting, when the hoiier was filled. No, the tub ' s got to be full. answered the mother wearily. Well, von rest, mother; I ' ll finish it. The girl labored back and forth to the well. She saw her father and John busily currying the horses for the day ' s plowing, and heard the trace chains rattle as the harness fell into place. How she wished she could be out there with them in the open air, with the dam]), freshly-turned earth under her feet. A Carolina wren peered at her curiously from the orchard fence, scuttled quickly up the post, tilted his absurd little body and whistled impudently, Come and sec me; come and see me. Dear little fellow. laughed Janet. I ' d like to. But never mind, I ' ll come when the washing ' s done. By the time the tubs were filled the girl ' s arms were shivering and sore from the strain. Wearily the long warm morning she bent over the steaming tubs, rubbing patiently on neck and wristbands, wringing endless small dresses and bine checked aprons from the rinsing water. The heavy work hurt her soft white hands and her head ached, but she did not rebel. She was doing some hard thinking. What had she been doing those years at school? she asked herself. Had she been cruelly selfish, leaving her mother to work like this? True, she had worked hard and earnestly, but it had not been drudgery of this sort. But there was no need of it. Her father was successful and well-to-do. She had been supplied with all the dainty things she loved, and had counted them her right ; and then to return to find her mother pale and careworn, and working like this. Pew words passed between the two before the long lines of various colored garments were flapping in the wind, and they began to prepare the m  n meal. Mother, lie down and rest, and let me get dinner, said Janet, with every muscle aching, but distressed beyond measure by her mother ' s tired face. I ' m afraid you wouldn ' t do it right, answered the mother. So they worked in silence until the meal was on the table and the family came in. I saw Priddy this morning, said the father, cheerily drawing up his chair, and he said that he was right much afraid Joe Barker isn ' t going to 248 pay up. lie ' s got about all his old place is worth out of me already, and he ' s just shiftless enough to throw the whole thing onto my hands. T don ' t want his old bean patch at any price. It ' s out of the way, and it won ' t grow huckleberries. If he would just keep the interest paid up is all I want. he went on in a provoked tone, then he laughed merrily. Well, I tell you it ' s getting to be a pretty bad case when a man ' s got so much money he can ' t even lend it on good security. ' Then, couldn ' t mother have a woman to help her? said Janet. Why, of course, said the father, looking up surprised and puzzled. Of course she could. Madge Waters was here last week just begging to help, but mother didn ' t seem to want her. She ain ' t any good, answered the mother. Well, is there anv one you would like to have for help, mother? said Janet. The mother looked down at her plate. No, I dunno as there is. When the dishes were put away, the girl slipped out quietly and ran down the narrow lane to the orchard. Under the old crooked apple tree which had been her favorite play place in childhood, she dropped full length upon the soft grass, looking up through the mosaic leaves. I am so tired, she said wearily. Then she laughed up at the branches. It seems queer for anything to be tired and troubled down here, she thought, where everything is so calm. It sort of rests you. After awhile she arose and went quietly back to the house. In the bare little sitting room the mother was placing a paper pattern upon some checked gingham. Aren ' t you worn out, mother? said the girl, her spirits sinking. Yes, I ' m tired, but these have got to be done to-day, replied the mother. What is there to do to-morrow? asked the girl. The scrubbin ' and the sweepin ' , an ' the next day is soap-makin ' and baking day. These have got to be done to-day. Janet snipped the shears through the gingham, as she said quietly: I wish you would get some one to help you, mother, with this heavy work. I don ' t want any girls around. They cost more than they come to, and I don ' t need any help. You can quit if you want to. Through the long sultry afternoon as they worked, the girl tried to keep up a cheerful talk, but in spite of her best efforts the conversation lagged. The mother seemed interested in nothing beyond the lengths of gingham they worked, and Janet was painfully weary in body and brain from the severe strain of the morning. Late in the afternoon the work was finished, and Janet was free to play with the little brother and sister she had scarcely seen all day. 249 She found them working busily in a mimic house under the drooping lilac hushes, piling up bright pebbles, shells and soft mosses about the roots. Again she was reminded of her own childhood. The ' little girl ' used to play just so in this very place, she thought, and as the little girl she dropped easily into their make believe. They played merrily until the gathering- darkness drove them indoors. As they went, Ethel put her arm around her older sister lovingly, I ' m glad you ' re home, big sister; it ' s so long since we had anybody to play with. The next morning her father came in, reel-faced and perspiring, from a trip on the hay wagon to town. Here ' s a letter. Jannie, he called playfully, as Janet left her work to welcome him. Up in the bare little room that had been hers from childhood Janet read the letter. It was from a teacher and friend in the college she had attended, and was rich in interest and kindly appreciation. President told me this morning, the letter ran on, of an assistant ' s position which he could arrange for you. It gives you the opportunity of studying and teaching the things you like best, and besides it pavs well. I hope you need no urging, but don ' t think you could not do it, for you have done your work here better than you knew. Janet sat for a long time thinking. To go meant pleasant work, develop- ment, and appreciation, while to stay meant occasional untrammelled hours perhaps, but for the most part drudgery. Why couldn ' t I go, she thought. I ' m not needed here, or at least, a strong woman could do my little helping easily, and I could pay her to help mother. But mother has grown so used to slaving when it was necessary that she can ' t get out of the way of it. She doesn ' t want money, she wants sacrifice. She lets me help, but no one else could. She thought of her mother, merry and loving, as she had loved to remember her and then to find her like this. She doesn ' t care for outside things, or thoughts, or happen- •ngs ; she ' s too tired always to care. It seems sometimes as if she has lost everything she used to be — except she is my mother. Would she go, a place in the world ' s work was waiting and she had done better than she knew. After all what was the use, her mother would only try to save more by doing more work if she staid. What was the use of trying lo help people who did not care for help? When Janet descended again her mother was bustling about the stove preparing dinner, and the father was washing his hands near by. splashing the water recklessly. lie looked up and smiled as the girl entered, noting her sw  llen eyes. Hello, big sister; 1 thought you ' d run away, he called. Not yet awhile, said lanet. It ' s too good to be at home again. MARY ATKESOX. 250 Obe (Tall of the Kills At the first faint stirring of sap in the tree, The earliest venturing forth of a bud. The call of the hills is borne gently to me. The wood-covered hills that I love. Deep-laden with promise it comes on the breeze; I feel my pulse quicken, more deeply I breathe; It tells me of life and of love, and of these I may drink to the fullest. Oh, there ' s freedom to ever wander at will; To climb to the summit and panting lie there In the shadow and sunlight and breezes until The stars bring me calmness and peace. Or the valley ' s soft moss and uncurling fern Will make a cool bed by the half-hidden stream, And if I am patient and still I may learn The ways and language of fairies. The course of the stream I may follow all day As it winds through the rocks and tangles of fern. The end of the journey will be for my pay A spring of crystal clearness. To lie on the earth and drink deep from her breast, To feel the ferns brushing my cheek as I drink; Above me to hear the birds building their nest, Pulsating with joy of free life. All of this and much more is promised to me In that wonderful call of the hills, But ' tis all to live and to love and to be As free as God meant me to be. Sarah W. Johnson. 251 Ol)£ .A wakening The train slung around the curve, thrilled through every fiber of its length, and with a jar came to a standstill. The brakeman ' s unnecessary All out for Morgantown seemed to be taken literally, for all seemed to be alighting at Morgantown. Howard pushed through the crowd, stared undecided a moment along the narrow platform and the unkempt freight landing stretching away into a perplexity of jumbled packages, then turned and followed the crowd, clutching his suitcase tightly in his sunburned hand, through the gauntlet of waving arms and stentorian cries, Everybod ' go th ' Peabody; fines ' hotel in th ' city ; Right this way fo ' de Made ' a ; all de ladies go da; whar de ladies go de gem ' men go too ; The swellest in de city — de Wallace House — have your grip, mister? Howard safely passed these latter-day philistines and their vanishing cries and still followed the crowd. Up Front street, around the corner to Pleasants, by the uncompleted Ray Co. ' s building, past the barn- like structure of the Methodist Church, and around the corner to High street and the Postoffice, where the crowd halts, mixes confusedly a minute, then scatters in the same way that a crowd scatters after a fight promising much and realizing little. With the assistance of a young man labelled Train Com., Y. M. C. A., Howard found his way to Sunnyside, where the Prep and the first-year student have located ever since a sometime W. V.. U. graduate, by a certain alchemy — much used since — transformed a somewhat precipitous bluff into a residence district, a bank account, and a number of first mortgages. Thus, Howard Whitcombe, a country boy of nineteen, blessed with good health, uncertain funds, and sensible parents, after attending to the innumerable del ails of matriculation and classification, found himself beginning to be a College Boy. His first year was a disappointment to him, notwithstanding the fact that Fine Report was written across the foot of his report to his father by the acting Registrar, and his instructors were past masters in the art of teaching. Everything was so different from what he had expected, everything seemed so impersonal. When he had graduated at the Normal School, he wore a cutaway coat, and was considered of some importance. In college his Normal marks scarcely secured his admission to the Freshman Class, and his cutaway would have been laughed at. He felt that he might have dropped out at the end of this year and no one here would have asked a question. Mere there seemed to be an air of finality about things — also of subterfuge. I le could not tell whether the latter were a permanent tiling like Doc Dancer and his 1 lick jacket or the result of a fight in the faculty. It was all very strange to him; the boys sang Dixie uproariously and voted the Republican ticket, then turned the carriage horses loose and pulled William Jennings Bryan in triumphal procession through the streets, and packed the auditorium so full to hear him that the President feared for his state appropriations and the Superintendent feared the collapse of the building. Howard could not explain it at all, and he began to think that college boys were the most unstable beings in the world, lie felt in some way that no person was responsible for his own acts. He is a college boy, excused everything. That is a beautiful theory. Howard thought; I ' ll just try it myself. But one night, upon accepting an invitation to go walking, he suddenly found himself, with reluctancy of heart but alacrity of feet, doing certain stunts to a select audience of some fifteen Ku Kluxers. That was all well and good until someone cast some reflections on his antecedents. That became a different matter; he straightway forgot his beautiful theory and smashed five of them on sight in the next two days, just as he and young Peters had cleaned up a crowd of Pine Bluffers who came out to Rock Ridge to break up a spelling school. In the next twelve hours some twelve boys with a hope-to-die-if-I ' m-not-good expression sincerely begged his pardon, and were forgiven. Yet the evident admiration of one of those bovs for the other in the following days for something painful to see. After dark, at least, it was closer than that of the legend-haunted classic of Damon and Pythias. Yet Howard ' s theory was not dead; it was simply a case of suspended animation. Later events, as he thought, seemed to confirm it. Pie took the matter up with his roommate, James G. Sawyer, of Grafton. Jim, does everybody always run at will up here? No, sonny, you try it once and you will find yourself pulled up with a jerk. Those fellows raised a deuce of a row with Beson at the Federation meeting, and fairlv beefed him off the nlatform. and nobodv did a thincr about it. Tones and PTarrison nlotWl the ' Dixie ' stunt down in the town hall when the marching- club met: evervnod knows about it except Prexv. and T ' 1 1 wager a Conner that he is wise too.

Not on your life: something ' s going to happen. The ' governor ' got left in the last political deal: Graham p-ets his place, and the plum tree comes in for a shaking — and a hard one. These fellows whom von mention know itist how long the rope is. and thev are stretching it to the limit. Your nhilosophv mav be all right for Rock Ridge, but vou must have ' Gabe Danforth ' s telescopic eye ' to get next here. Now. get to work, or T shall be compelled to spoil your handsome face with this India ink. Howard subsided, unconvinced still. He could not see how the apparent lack of unity in all the varied departments of the College could work anything but ruin. He did not see the greater unity : he had not yet reached the height where he could see the orderly arrangement below him. The youthful 253 larks — The Brewery, the painted clock, feeding the lamhs, though sporadic, excrescences on the body collegiate, to his mind were the result of a deep depravity in the human mnd. Thus the months rolled away and Howard still harked back to his Normal days, where the corridors were carpeted, the students under the direct charge of the principal ; no loafing or lounging, high ideals and heavy pressure work. Jim, these sorority girls are the limit, remarked Howard one evening during a pause in their work. What ' s up now? It ' s just as I keep telling you: everybody that has any gumption loses it when lie gets here. Think of initiating a girl in a coffin. Rack at home that would land the whole crowd in jail ; they would get a church trial, anyway. Why, it ' s awful ; it ' s sacriligeous. Kid, you ' re great on preaching. Tell your lttlc tale to the judge; you seem to be getting inside informaiton right along. Who was initiated in a coffin ? Nobody was. Why, then, did you waste all this ethical discourse? Well, it isn ' t her faidt that she is not scared to death. There you go again ; do you see that paper-weight? look at it closely ; if you do not tell me a clear-cut story without those hyperbolic curves, I shall be compelled to fan your dainty donkey-like ears with that reminder. It was this way: Bess Green, and that Lapham girl — the one with the red heair — Elsie Marks, and the whole Alpha Delta crowd that stays at the Hall were going to initiate Miriam Grey on Friday night. Three of the girls — a sort of committee on entertainment — stopped at Singer ' s Undertaking department to arrange for a coffin. Singer was willing to deliver the goods all right, sub rosa, you know, on Friday evening. They were a little afraid of the matron, but she ' s easy; so everything was arranged. Didn ' t it work? Not exactly. Singer asked them if he should rot come around about eleven o ' clock with the hearse. They told him that he did not need to bother. ' You ' ll need it before you get through, ' replied Singer. On Thursday evening the girls came back. From their manner he suspected that they had balked, but he did not help them out. He took them into the shop where his man was putting the finishing touches on their casket. ' How do you like that? It is as snug as a bug in a rug. ' ' Oh, ' said one of the girls, T should be fright- ened to death to wake up in that. ' ' Miriam has a weak heart, ' said another. ' Mr. Singer, would it be all right if we should not take the casket? We should like to use it well enough, shouldn ' t we, girls? but Miriam really is not very strong, and we don ' t want to hurt her? ' ' At your pleasure, girls, ' ' How much do we owe you? ' ' Not one cent; sorry I can ' t help you out in your lark. ' You won ' t tell anybody on us? ' ' Sure not. What is so very awful about that? It is the principle of the thing; it ' s unladylike; it ' s demoralizing; it ' s frivolous. 254 Now, look here Whitcombe, you call yourself a serious-minded, well- seasoned matter-of-fact young fellow. You boast under your breath that you never went snipe-hunting, and never waited on Pleasants corner for a girl in answer to an unsigned note. Yet who. in the last six months, has hung a huggy on the Decker ' s Creek bridge, sawed off Dean Rigdon ' s ' steps of matri- mony, ' stole a skull from the Meds, and tried to hang the regent ' s porch carpet on a telegraph pole, to say nothing Q f some other things? Now, because this lark of the girls and a whole lot of other things don ' t please you, you sav the whole system is wrong. A calculating German statesman with more brains than sentiment once said that the colleges found one-third of the students hopelessly incompetent, sent one-third of them to the devil, but made men of the other third. We may have more than our share of the first two classes, but f doubt it. A good many of those girls whom you have been reading off the list will put me and you both to the bad in some of our work. Suppoose we try an experiment; you have been ' knocking ' for about two years now, and I am tired of it. How shall we start — Law School, Civil Engineering, Y. M. C. A.. Athletics— I ' ll go you on Athletics ; if you can prove it to me in that line, I ' m in. How are you going to stand? Suppose we put it this way: Athletics put on a better and cleaner footing both in the faculty and the association, I win ; if worse, I creep into my shell and seal up. Done. Shake. Now we shall both stand off and watch. ' The time began to draw around when the annual election in the Athletic Association took place. The interest of the students was increasing - . Two weeks before the election but fortv members were noted on the voting list. Two davs before there were three hundred and fifty. Caucuses were held every night. Although there were manv minor questions, and the fight some- times involved the personnel of the candidates, vet. in the main, it was whether the College athletics should be put on a better basis or not. Jim, T don ' t see much difference : your ' puri ty ' party are trying to buy as manv proxies as the other side. Scarcelv, Whitcombe. Well, probablv not: but thev are doing something in that line. Remember Prof. ' s speech at the banquet. ' The line of demarcation between srood and evil does not pass between men but throuch them. ' You must not think that all the good is on one side and all the bad on the other. No movement is of that kind. A movement is indeed by its general trend, and not by one incident. Tt is the ' schoolmaster ' s ' extra ' pepper-corn ' of weight that pulls the balance either way. Cheer up. kid. I ' ve got vou licked. The election came on Saturdav at two o ' clock. The auditorium was packed — five hundred and fifty members, and manv spectators. Both sides were alert and confident. The association opened with orderly confusion: the floor managers and the whips were quietly strengthening the feeble knees. Matters of a routine character were disposed of easilv. as neither side cared to make a showing of strength before the election. A nomination for president; a shout, renewed again and again: another nomination, and the shouting was renewed, though from a different section of the house. Thus the nominations continued and ended, and the balloting began. Challenge 255 and c- nt -haUenge, and at last it was over. The counting — one, two, three, four, tail v continued for hours. The reform party had won by a small margin. Sawyer had not seen his roommate since he had voted early in the after- noon. He met him by the ' smoke-house. Hello, Kid, I ' ll take everything in the fountain, and a package of Duke ' s, too; I ' m dry. Jim, the fellows say that the new crowd is worse than the old one. Shut up, come in ; not another word of that kind ever. The straws were brought and there is absolute silence for several minutes. Sawyer, perhaps I have been standing in my own light a little too long. Just two years too long, Whitcombe. Sawyer, you ' re right, I believe, but it is mighty hard to say it. It ' s my turn now. Kid ; what will you have? W. ESPEY ALBIG, 04. GYM GIRL 25fi Ol)e 016 Saving of IKare ' s Somewhat back from the city street Stands the ill-omened Latin seat.

Rob Carson walked slowly across the campus, thinking of what the girl bad said. For over a year Rob had been desperately in love with Anna Cassmore, but she had hitherto refused to give bun any serious answer. To-night she had promised to bear bis plea and to give him an answer; all this, however, to depend upon Y. V. LJ. ' s winning a baseball game from VV. II. U. P. These colleges were old-time enemies both in football and baseball. The previous Fall W. 11. U. P. had beaten W. V. I , in a strenuous game of football by a score of II to 10. This Spring, therefore. W. Y. P. was ardently desirous of turning the tables. They had a very good baseball nine, of which Rob Carson, as captain and pitcher, was the bright, particular star. Rob had never been known to get rattled, but calm and inflexible he was always there with the goods. Moreover, he had a peculiar individual underthrow which was baffling to the most skilled batter. I must make good use of that underthrow to-day, Rob was saying to him- self as he walked slowly into his frat house. Here he found a crowd of the boys, and in their eager talk over the game, he for a while forgot the task he had before him. It was a hot. dry afternoon. Just the kind of weather to play baseball, but blamed hot for the spectators. grumbled an old gentleman as he mopped his dripping brow and vainly tried to make a fan out of his Panama bat. Nothing short of this baseball game would have dragged me out in all this beat. The old gentleman had a somewhat sheltered seat on the grandstand, so he need not have complained. Out in the blazing sun on the bleachers facing Mechanical Hall sat Prep Baird and his bunch of rooters. Now, one, two, three, bovs : Rah. Rah, Rub. Y. V. P.. Sis, Boom, Ah. Tiger! On the rows of seats in front of Mechanical Hall sat a crowd of Co-eds, each with either a Y. V. P. pennant or a streamer of gold and blue ribbon in her hand. They were singing enthusiastically: Strike up a song for West Virginia, Cheer loud and long for West Virginia, Whether she ' s weak. Whether she ' s strong. Just the same we ' ll cheer for West Virginia. 259 Baird and his footers answered them with : Rah. Rah, Rah. Rah. West Vir-gin-yah ! During the cheering the rival teams had trotted out upon the held, the . I !. U. P. ' s in maroon and white, the W. V. U. hoys in old gold and blue. Roh shook hands with Ed Westlake. the rival captain, and after a few joking remarks the game began. W. II. U. P. being visitors were, of course, first at the bat. Roh took his place in the box, glancing as he did so towards a certain corner of the grandstand where Anna sat. Four short, spicy innings passed tilled with good plavs on both sides. Still the score was nothing to nothing, fn the first half of the fifth inning W. H. U. P. by a sensational play got one runner in. In the latter half of the sixth inning Roh by a slide equally as sensational reached home before the ball did and had the satisfaction of hearing the umpire call, Runner safe. The seventh and eighth innings passed, the score still a tie. In the ninth inning Westlake was the first man at the bat. Rob sent a swift nnderthrow. Westlake had caught on. With ; ((nick movement, his bat caug ' ht the ball squarely and fairly sent it out into the right fielder ' s territory. Westlake got safe to second on that. While the second batter was selecting a bat. Jack Clark, the catcher, walking: up to Rob, said: Now, Rob, do be careful. Be sure that T understand what you are going to throw, because your underthrows are hard to catch unless I am prepared. All right. Jack, old boy, a great deal depends upon this game for me, so I ' ll do by best. Harkness to the bat. cried the umpire. Harkness, a tall, wiry-looking fellow, was the one who had made the run in the fifth inning. He faced Rob with a cool smile on his lips, Jake signaled for a rising overthrow and Rob sent one twisting through the air, with all his speed. TTarkness never moved. The ball rose perceptibly as it passed over the plate and the umpire announced Ball one. With a frown Roh caught the ball as Jack threw it back. This time he sent a curve. Harkness caught it on the tip of his bat and sent it out over the pitcher ' s box. With a little spring, Rob caught it, but, forgetful of Westlake on second, he threw the ball to first and heard the crv, Harkness out on first. Westlake safe on third. Westlake safe on third and Shiner, one of their best batters,, to the hat! For one moment Rob ' s heart failed, but quickly recovering himself he sent two underthrows in quick succession. Shiner disdained both, but caught the third ball, an out curve, on the tip of his bat, and, like Harkness, sent it straight into Rob ' s hands. Shiner was. of course, out, but Rob, instead of throwing the ball back to Jack that he might tap Westlake, ran rapidly to home himself. He reached it just as Westlake did, but realized with a sickening fear that Westlake had slid under his outstretched hand and was safe. Runner out, shouted the umpire. For a second Rob hesitated, then across his mental haze came the remem- brance of Anna ' s voice, I prefer that you lose the game honestly rather than that you win it dishonestly. His decision was made. No, Mr. Umpire. Ibis man slid under my hand; I did not touch him; he is safe. Runner safe, bawled the umpire. 260 With a grim look on his handsome face. Rob speedily fanned the next man out. Side out, came the cry. The last half of the ninth inning was. as a little darkey said, list a fizzle. Disheartened by the prospect before them, three W. V. U. men were put out in rapid succession. The game ended 2 to T in favor of YY. H. U. P. The other boys kept somewhat aloof from Rob. but Jack ' s earnest voice said: ' Old man, J never respected any man in my life as I respect von. Shake. Rob dressed and tore himself wearily away from the ' praise or blame. How little either of them seemed in comparison with what he had lost. Seated in his room with his head buried in his hands he passed thus some hours. At length, mechanically rising and dressing for the evening, his foot- steps turned by force of habit to Woman ' s Hall, and he found himself on the porch steps before he knew it. He was just about to turn away with a bitter exclamation, when he saw a gleam of — could it be that promised pink dress? — behind the growth of honeysuckle which covered one end of the porch. Yes, ;t was the promised pink dress, and in a moment Anna was in his arms. But, darling, you said if we won? Yes, Rob, but I prefer that you lose honestly iather than that you win dishonestly. I never respected any man in my life as I respected you this afternoon. And, curiously enough, Rob had a vague remembrance of having heard the words before. Ira Smith (in Blackstone) — Doctor, if a woman should die before h husband would she be entitled to dower? Miss Hawlev — 1 must sit by Evalyn or I can ' t think of anything. Miss Jenkins — Well, if I thought it would make you think of anythin; T would give you this seat. Brand (ringing the door bell at Dr. Cox ' s) — Is Mr. Smith here? Dr. Cox— H-ll, no! He doesn ' t live here. McDonald (after taking Miss H. home from a card party) — Short horse. oon curried. Lopez — Doctor, why did so many fail in Blackstone 2? Dr. B. — Too many ' horses. ' sub. Lopez — You mean ' ponies, ' don ' t you, doctor? Dr. B. — No, sub; no, sub. Too large to call them ' ponies ' , sub. M. Virginia Foulk. •2 ;i Snowbound 3n i urbin The train went whizzing o ' er the road, Bearing along its Glee Club load; It puffed and steamed and rattled down The railroad track to Durbin town. Soon the conductor cried out clear: Durbin! Durbin! We ' re almost here. Off jumped the boys; but jumped in vain. To change and take another train. The train it ne ' er came up that day; The snow and ice had blocked its way; And all day long in vain did try We boys to reach the L. F. I. For two whole days the fellows tore Their wavy locks and madly swore; No use it was to cuss and frown. We were snowbound in Durbin town. What shall we do? cried one by one; We ' ll starve up here, each mother ' s son ; Yet all this time the snow came down And spread its white wings o ' er the ground Cheer up. my boys, don ' t look so sad, Spake out a small but ruddy lad: We ' re here to stay — the night ' s before us — Let ' s get the schoolhouse and give our chorus. We shouted Good, and one by one. With each his instrument in tune. We traveled in a long black line. To find the schoolhouse in the pine. We found the house, and, twenty-five strong. We raised the roof with shout and song. The lumbermen stamped their number nines, And said Singin ' is sweeter than the sighin ' o ' pine-;. And so we passed the time away. Singing at Durbin during our stay. But those sweet strains we did impart May tune the cords of some man ' s heart. Shall one of us forget that night — The sky with stars all studded bright — While winds howled up and snow fell down, And we — Snowbound in Durbin town? — Axx I. Witness. 262 A ballroom Orage6? Scene: A Saturday night at Phillips ' Hall. In a secluded corner sit Mr. W-ls-n and Miss -dw-rds. They seem to be enjoying themselves immensely, when Mr. H-n-a conies up and says to the young lady : Excuse me, but isn ' t this our dance? She — I don ' t know, I ' m sure. Is it? He — Yes. I am sure it is. . She (languidly) — Well, I guess you are right. With a good-bye to W-ls-n she walks off with I I-n-a, and a few moments later, as the}- are dancing together, he is overheard to say : You know how much I think of you. for 1 have told you before, but you seemed to be enjoying Mr. W-ls-n ' s company so much just now that I was actually jealous. Do you like him better than you do me? She — Oh, I think he is just fine, but (archly) 1 like you better, of course. He (relieved) — Thank you. You don ' t know how much that relieves me. A few minutes later Mr. W-ls-n and Miss -dw-rds are again seen sitting in the same corner, where this is overheard : She — 1 am awfully sorry that kid came up a while ago, as I was -enjoying .our company so much. Besides, he is so pertinent in his questions that just have to jolly him along all the time. Moral : Place not your trust in woman, for verily they are deceivers. Ol)£ fitzp s Cament take me back to mama, I long to be at home; From her and all my loved ones I always hate to roam. Then, too, there ' s too much study; For courting there ' s no time. 1 want to live a lazy life And go down on the line. I hate the Profs.. I hate the school.

Yet when thy command went ' round: All mustaches must come clown, With a flourish and a fight Thou wast launched on one dark night; Flowery eloquence was displayed. Till the Seniors got dismayed.

A or6 to tbe X ise Is Sufficient H-rtzl -i •-- I [earl disease is considered very dangerous, bul when it goes to the head and causes abnormal swelling ii re is danger to yourself and to your associates. An expeditious rem- ( dy is necessary. I .. l-t-n — Asking questions and ven tniing your own opinions in (lass is more on the order of butting in than displaying your knowledge on the sub- je i. You should consult some of your upper classmen on the subject. E-t-l — Your attitude bespeaks Prep. Of course, it is not unusual to see a fresh young Prep butt in around. and trying to equalize with his upper classmen; but we advise you to try a few remedies before they are tried on you. M-tch-ll — Loud clothes such as you wear are not even excusable for a Freshman. If it has been your aim to appear conspicuous among your fellow-students, you have certainly succeeded in a way. M-r-um — A Senior is supposed to be accorded more privileges than under classmen, but this does not mean that you are excusable for butting in all things, pushing yourself to the head of every organization and trying to run things generally. Your fellow- students will think more of you if yon do not make yourself too conspicuous. I-a Sm-th — A man who has not an opinion of his own, and cannot stick to one tiring, certainly needs a little encouragement. We advise that when you are in one crowd of fellows, and agree with them in everything they say, not to go to another crowd and agree with them in just the opposite. Kn-pp — While while socks are good form, in some places, it is advisable to change them at least once a term. Ste-n-er-en — Always dance around the hall the righl way, and thus avoid treading on other people ' s toes and getting yourself disliked. It doesn ' t pa. lo he conspicuous unless yon can lie so in an inoffensive manner. Ada — It is all right lo wear a I ' d low ' s frai pin, hut il is no! in I he bes! taste to proclaim to the world in black and white — which is so notice- able as to call everybody ' s attention to i he lad — that you are a frai sisier of someone. Neither is it good taste to become conspicuous by refusing to dance certain specials. McN l — Although you may noi rec- ognize ilie fact. Major Burns is eapabh of running the Cadet Corps without assistance from you. Bear in mind that too much omciousness is worse than too little. ■I in- H-ds-n — Ii is considered proper to invite the fellow who is rushing you. and whose fraternity pin yon are wearing, to any party or entertain lnent yon may give. D-yt-n — Don ' t think thai just be- cause a girl smiles al you, and tells you she thinks you are real cute, that she thinks you are the one and only. She is just trying lo make yon be a good Fido and speak or plaj dead when she tells you. Sc-u-l — While we admii thai you are not an ordinary person, still it is not at all necessary to force upon your upper classmates the valuable informa lion which you pussiss, as some of them know as much as yon do.
